Have an "Embedded Librarian" in your Canvas course 

With most classes primarily online, librarians can be embedded in your online course using the Canvas “Librarian” role.  This allows a librarians to collaborate with faculty and communicate with students directly in the course.  The “Librarian” role is basically a student role with permissions to create ungraded discussion posts and use Canvas conferences.  Using conferences the librarian can offer library instruction and drop-in office hours. For more information or to request a librarian to be added to your course, use the links on this page or contact a librarian directly.

Invite a librarian to your online class

A librarian can drop in on your online class to do a demonstration on researching and library access.  These sessions can be recorded for future use.
